According to the criminal complaint, Flewellen then dragged his girlfriend into their van, brought her to a home in Duquesne, beat her and held her against her will. Investigators said neighbors called police.

According to court papers, Flewellen made his girlfriend shower, clean off the blood and hide when police were called. They said instead, she walked from the bathroom and said, "Please get me out of here."

"I seen her leave in the ambulance," said Shaleah Shields, who lives next door to the Duquesne apartment where police said the woman was held captive by the cousins.

"He's a good kid and he's trying to go to college," said Mary Stuart of her grandson, Farrar. "He's an A student. I can't believe this."

Stuart said her grandchildren were driving her van on the day police allege they committed the kidnapping.

Farrar was being held Monday in the Allegheny County Jail, charged with kidnapping. Police were still looking for Flewellen.
